The Meta Conversions API allows you to mark leads received from your Meta Lead Ads Integration as Qualified directly from Privyr. This data is sent back to Meta to optimise your ad targeting, decrease cost per result, and accurately measure campaign outcomes:
- Optimised Ad Targeting: Your conversion data will be used to fuel Meta’s AI to locate and convert new customers more accurately
- Cost Efficiency: Reduce your cost per result by allocating your ad budget more effectively toward high-potential customers based on your conversion data
- Campaign Outcome Measurement: Gain a clearer understanding of which channels yield the best results, allowing you to focus on strategies that work
